With Jan Garbarek, Palle Danielsson and Jon Christensen at Tokyo’s Nakano Sun Plaza in April 1979.
Live in Juan-les-Pins, 2002, with Peacock and DeJohnette, with two Miles’ and Autumn Leaves magnificently revisited.
With Gary Peacock, Jack DeJohnette.
‘A spontaneous solo suite interspersing touches of the blues and folksong lyricism between pieces of polyrhythmic and harmonic complexity… one of his very finest performances. An attentive and appreciative audience hangs on every note, every nuance, and is rewarded with some tender encores including a magical version of Itβs A Lonesome Old Town.’
Enjoyably odd, wrong folk rock with baroque touches, from 1968. Jarrett plays everything β guitar, harmonica, soprano saxophone, recorder, piano, organ, electric bass, drums, tambourine and sistra β adding a string quartet here and there. He also sings, though it’s better when he doesn’t. Nearly all the tracks are two to three minutes.
Tangily raw and fresh piano-trio jazz from 1974.
The title track and Triangle are ace, funky jazz-dance. The Journey is gnarlier funk. Robyn’s Lullaby and Nothing New are hazier, evocative, impressionistic.
Tiny pressing.
The vibraphonist leading an outstanding trio session with Johnny Dyani and Leroy Lowe. Ace versions of Equinox and Body And Soul, and six chewy, moody originals.
Fat, glorious mid-seventies South African afro-jazz classic from the vaults of As-shams.
The house drummer of the Flamingo jazz club throughout the fifties, presenting a 1961 date featuring Tubbs and Jimmy Deuchar. Vibes-player Bill Le Sage leads the gorgeous ballad World Of Blue.
With Jaki Byard, Richard Williams, and Elvin Jones at Van Gelder’s in 1965 β a wildly brilliant mixture of homage and experimentation, New Orleans manzello, noise, Middle Eastern vibes, modal grooving… Unmissable.
Raw, blue, and sensational, with Kirk playing the tenor sax, manzello, and stritch simultaneously. Originally released by King in 1956, entitled Triple Threat.
